1. Take a bowl and add in red bell pepper (orange and yellow bell peppers can be used. Avoid green bell peppersas it may add bitterness to the dish), cucumber, 1/2 of chopped tomatoes, red onion, celery, cilantro, garlic and anaheim peppers and gently mix.
2. In a food processor, add in canned diced tomatoes and puree it.
3. To this tomato puree add half of the vegetables chopped, now use the pulse function in the food processor and pulse it for 5 times for about 3 to 5 seconds each. Once done add the remaining chopped vegetable mixture and pulse it again about 5 times for 3 seconds each.
4. Transfer the pureed mixture into a bowl. (Hold the blade of the food processor from underneath in order to avoid the blade from falling out while transfering the mixture)
FINALIZING

6. Set the prepared mixture in the fridge for a minimum 2 hours and preferably overnight.

TIPS
You can use a mortar and pestle instead of the processor or a blender in order to avoid the tomato puree from foaming when blended.
